Only 2 things stand out to me as possible poor choices for the kind of money you plan to spend.

The 700 watt power supply is an off-brand or house-brand. Go with Thermaltake or Corsair if you can afford it. You won't be disappointed.

As for the video cards, You will get better results from just 1 GTX 260 than those 2 9500GTs and if you can go with a GTX 275 or 285 even better.

It won't be long before you upgrade your power supply and cards if you do go with that setup you posted.

I totally agree with Robert. I went with the 2 9500's, I ended up selling them and going with 1 GTX 280. Also 700 Watts is pretty low for the system your building.

Have you ever thought about building your system ? Its very simple and you can add more for less $$$.

[Mark Johnson]

I have thought of building one Keith....... but i don't think i could get it right.........

[Keith Joseph]

Mark the hardest thing about building one is chosing the components. They are almost plug and play and come with great instructions. I've built 5 in the last few yrs, its so easy now, I can slap one together in less than 2 hrs.  Between Newegg and Zipzoomfly you can find some smokin deals.
